Abstract (en)

A vector processing device of the present invention comprises a vector processor (10) provided with more than one vector register(12-2,...,12-8), operation means (14-1,...,14-4) for vector operations and a vector control register (13) to store the mask information indicating the effectiveness of the vector data, a storage (17) to store the vector data and a storage controller (16) to control access to the storage. The storage controller (16) has an access control means (22) to select address data for access to the storage stored in the vector register from the address information registration means (19) according to the mask information and a load data storage means (21) to temporarily hold the data obtained by access to the storage using the selected address data and a load data expansion means (23) which uses the held data to expand the load data according to the mask information stored in the mask registration means and stores such data to the vector register. <IMAGE>
